Thanks, JDW. I think a combination of the gel method mixed with some more patience & planning would have done the trick.
Here is the damage. The last two photos are a 'before' (flat) and an 'after' (on the drainboard) of the bezel. I did remove the Apple badge; it was fun to learn it's just a metal sticker.

I've spent two days at this, battling the lack of sun (which is ironic, because I live in Florida, the sunshine state). I'm going to reassemble it and save it for another weekend, trying the gel method. I still need to completely disassemble the computer when using the paste, right?
I also will probably get a UV lamp so that I can do it indoors or at night. Would the best/cheapest source for this be a fish tank lamp?
The fact that some yellowing is gone is additional evidence that retr0bright does work, and hopefully others can learn from my mistakes. It's exciting that this is even possible; I have long lamented at how yellow my machines have gotten. Until last year it was a "nothing you can do about it" situation.
